Title: Issue with wp-admin Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Issue with wp-admin * [cricketdiaries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cricketdiaries/) * (@cricketdiaries) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-wp-admin-1/) * Hello, * I had just got my blog designed 3 days back by a web designer who is currently not contactable. * The site was running fine, till I changed something in WP address and Blog address. After saving it, when I visited the website, it shows this [http://www.cricketdiaries.com/](http://www.cricketdiaries.com/)( the design et all is all gone) * Now, I am trying to login to my wp-admin, it shows the login page and on logging in, I get back to “NOTHING FOUND ON HOME………..” * I am thoroughly confused, what should I do?

Unfortunately, while trying to use this, it says that I need to edit the wp-config.php file, and I am not locate it. If I go to [http://www.cricketdiaries.com/wp-config.php](http://www.cricketdiaries.com/wp-config.php), it gives a 404 file not found error – what does this imply? * Thread Starter [cricketdiaries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cricketdiaries/) * (@cricketdiaries) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-wp-admin-1/#post-1408885) * Hey Gangleri, located the file and was able to get the website working back. Thanks a ton for this help 🙂 * [kathleenfasanella](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kathleenfasanella/) * (@kathleenfasanella) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-wp-admin-1/#post-1409062) * Hey all, I’m at my wit’s end, hope you can help. this is stupid because there just isn’t an easier way to install WP (this is a sandbox) than using fantastico. * I wanted the wp install to have its own subdirectory so I put that in the field( pg 2 of 3, no I didn’t create it ahead of time). Subdirectory is called “manual”. Get to page 3, everything is nifty, I’m given [http://mysite.com/manual/wp-admin/](http://mysite.com/manual/wp-admin/) to login but I get a 404/500. I can get to [http://mysite.com/manual/](http://mysite.com/manual/) and get an apache page. For the heck of it, I also tried [http://mysite.com/manual/wp-login.php](http://mysite.com/manual/wp-login.php) but a 404/500 on that too. * Any ideas on how I managed to louse up this install and what I can do to fix it? thanks muchly. * [kathleenfasanella](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kathleenfasanella/) * (@kathleenfasanella) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-wp-admin-1/#post-1409063) * Update: in case anyone has this or similar problem. Problem is defined but not resolved. It’s an htaccess problem (of my own creation), not WP. * I have some redirects on this site that pertain to the domain of another url which happens to be the main account. I didn’t think I’d be adding another domain to this account (as I did today onto which I installed wp) when those redirects were written. Anyway, this install is evidently being affected by the redirects under my main url account. So, the htaccess file has to be modified -again. You guys can probably fix stuff like that in your sleep. It’ll take me at least a beer and cost me a few chewed off fingernails to fix this. * [kathleenfasanella](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kathleenfasanella/) * (@kathleenfasanella) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-wp-admin-1/#post-1409064) * Last word from tech support: * > It seems that /manual/ is a reserved directory alias in cPanel. Just happens > you stumbled on it. * Lesson: avoid the word “manual” in naming sub directory installs. * [Mark / t31os](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t31os_/) * (@t31os_) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-with-wp-admin-1/#post-1409065) * Handy to know, i wasn’t aware of that… thanks for taking the time to post back and provide some additional information.
